D.

When there are no concurrent queries running on the warehouse

Answers
D.

When there are no concurrent queries running on the warehouse

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

A multi-cluster virtual warehouse in Snowflake is designed to handle high concurrency and workload demands by allowing multiple clusters of compute resources to operate simultaneously. The correct scenario to use a multi-cluster virtual warehouse is:

A . When queuing is delaying query execution on the warehouse: Multi-cluster warehouses are ideal when the demand for compute resources exceeds the capacity of a single cluster, leading to query queuing. By enabling additional clusters, you can distribute the workload across multiple compute clusters, thereby reducing queuing and improving query performance.

This is especially useful in scenarios with fluctuating workloads or where it's critical to maintain low response times for a large number of concurrent queries.
